Reload Fusebox in IE, Safari and Firefox

June 19, 2008

If you want to reload Fusebox in IE, Safari and Firefox then you can use a bookmarklet to do it. Firefox users can use the excellent Fusebox 5 Reload add on which has recently been updated to support Firefox 3.

I found this entry on dopefly dot com about using a bookmarket to achieve the same result. I couldn't get it to work in IE so I wrote my own version.

To use it in Internet Explorer

Right click on the link below and select "Add to favourites". You'll probably get a security alert, this is because it uses javascript.

To use it in Safari

Add a bookmark called "Full Fusebox Reload". Once you have created your bookmark, select "Show all bookmarks" from the "Bookmarks" menu and right click on "Full Fusebox Reload" which you have just created and select "Edit address". You need to paste in the following code:

javascript:window.location.href=window.location.href+(window.location.href.indexOf('?')==-1?'?':'&')+'fusebox.loadclean=true&fusebox.parseall=true&fusebox.password='+prompt('password','defaultpassword');

To use it in Firefox

Right click on the link below and select "Bookmark this link".

Change the default password

To change the default password you can simply edit the url address you have for the bookmark and change the prompt('password','defaultpassword') part. It is also worth noting that I have set it up to parse all the files as well so you may want to edit that as well.

Bookmark me!
